Trump Won’t Rule Out Military Force to Acquire Greenland | Daybreak Europe 1/7/2026
Bloomberg Daybreak Europe is your essential morning viewing to stay ahead. Live from London, we set the agenda for your day, catching you up with overnight markets news from the US and Asia. And we’ll tell you what matters for investors in Europe, giving you insight before trading begins.
On today’s show, the White House says Donald Trump will not rule out using military force to take control of Greenland, standing firm that acquiring the island is a national security priority.
Brent fell after Donald Trump said Venezuela will send up to 50 million barrels of oil to the US. That’s worth roughly $2.8 billion at the current market prices and represents about 50 days of Venezuelan oil production.
US Special envoy Steve Witkoff says Ukraine’s allies have made significant progress on a plan to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. European officials hailed developments as an important breakthrough during a ‘coalition of the willing’ meeting in Paris.

FAKE NEWS!
All done to fatten the wallets of Jared and Ivanka.
More lies from the fake news, i hope you get sued next.
Has anyone asked any high quality questions about Greenland. Perhaps “what are the United States interests in Greenland, and what would be the structure of Greenland post annexation?”
Trump is lying about the necessity of taking over Greenland. There are already treaties in place that allow maintaining military bases there. In spite of that USA has closed bases.

Trump is being a bully the rest of the world is watching what does the average American think about this it would be nice for us to hear their opinion and let Trump hear it maybe he will rephrase what he actually means it’s all in perspective.
Nazi anti black Denmark anti Islam holding on to their colony 😂 two white foolish colonizers fighting against each other 😂 danish men raped and exploit Africa no reparations no sorry to Ghana while they funding generational wealth to Asia imported wives 😂 let America have Greenland 🇬🇱 Denmark sold their negrorid island in carribean for less than 5 million dollars
The Greenland thing is a bad idea. Totally irrational.
I prefer the old agreement with Denmark. The President shouldn't do that. He ought to focus on better things.
